How to render SDL2 texture into GTK3+ window? - gtk3

Question

I am creating a music player and trying to use GTK3+ for creating user interface. I am using SDL_CreateWindowFrom function to let SDL2 use GTK3+ window rather than creating one but cann't figure out the steps I need to follow in order to render the SDL2 textures into GTK3+ window.
Code getting GTK3 window ID
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "---");
gtk_widget_show(window);
gdkWin = gtk_widget_get_window(GTK_WIDGET(window));
data->playContext->winID = GDK_WINDOW_XID(gdkWin);
gtk_main();
Code Setting SDL2 window
playContext->display->window = SDL_CreateWindowFrom((const void *)playContext->winID);
playContext->display->renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(playContext->display->window, -1, playContext->display->render_flags);
Code Rendering SDL2 textures
SDL_RenderClear(playContext->display->renderer);
SDL_RenderCopy(playContext->display->renderer, playContext->textureQ.head->bmp, NULL, NULL);
SDL_RenderPresent(playContext->display->renderer);

Since example you put is effectively incomplete even on most important bits (e.g. renderer creation flags), and you don't specify which part gives you a problem, here is my example (which, on my system, works on both gtk2 and gtk3 - I wouldn't vouch it is completely fine though):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>
#include <SDL.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
static SDL_Window *sdl_window;
static SDL_Renderer *sdl_renderer;
static SDL_Surface *sdl_surface;
static GtkWindow *gtk_window;
static GtkWidget *gtk_da;
static void *gdk_window;
static void *window_id;
static gboolean idle(void *ud) {
(void)ud;
if(!sdl_window) {
printf("creating SDL window for window id %p\n", window_id);
sdl_window = SDL_CreateWindowFrom(window_id);
printf("sdl_window=%p\n", sdl_window);
if(!sdl_window) {
printf("%s\n", SDL_GetError());
}
sdl_renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(sdl_window, -1, 0);
printf("sdl_renderer=%p\n", sdl_renderer);
if(!sdl_renderer) {
printf("%s\n", SDL_GetError());
}
} else {
SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(sdl_renderer, 255, 0, 0, 255);
SDL_RenderClear(sdl_renderer);
SDL_RenderPresent(sdl_renderer);
}
return true;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
gtk_window = (GtkWindow*)gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(gtk_window, "test");
gtk_da = gtk_drawing_area_new();
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(gtk_window), gtk_da);
gtk_widget_show_all(GTK_WIDGET(gtk_window));
gdk_window = gtk_widget_get_window(GTK_WIDGET(gtk_da));
window_id = (void*)(intptr_t)GDK_WINDOW_XID(gdk_window);
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
g_idle_add(&idle, 0);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
